What owners wrote
My car was involved in a front end collision and my air bags did not deploy. My vehicle was totaled. My car was moving at a slow speed to make a left turn when another vehicle hit my vehicle at a fast speed
Upon starting the car it suddenly began illuminated five (5) warning lights within the instrument cluster: tire pressure monitoring system, anti-slip regulation, automatic brake system malfunction, problem with steering, and airbag and safety belt pretensioner system malfunction. The car was immediately driven to the dealer. From these warnings, napleton's of orlando surmised the problem to be a defective left/rear wheel speed sensor!? I declined any work and took my doubts to volkswagen customer care.
